Bill Kanasky Ph.D. (2003)

I am currently a Litigation Consultant in Chicago IL, the greatest city in the world. My work involves analyzing and predicting jury decision-making. While challenging and difficult, it has turned out to be a very rewarding career choice that never has a dull moment. When I am not working, I am spending time with the family, and watching “da Bears, da Bulls, da Cubs…etc.” My favorite UF memory involved bringing my newborn son (Billy) into the Clinical Psychology department so all the students and faculty could meet him. I also enjoyed throwing parties with my classmates — we were a very fun group of soon-to-be psychologists. My least favorite memory was September 11, 2001. I was teaching in the Health Science program and had to tell 65 UF undergraduate students that terrorists had hijacked planes, crashed them into the World Trade Center, and killed thousands of people. I had just learned of the news myself 15 minutes before that, and the students had no idea. My best lesson learned at UF was don’t beat yourself up for making mistakes…as mistakes are normal. In fact, they are critical for personal and professional growth. However, if you make the same mistakes repeatedly…then yes, you should beat yourself up…repeatedly.

After receiving my degree, completing a post-doctoral fellowship, and taking a position with Dr. Suzanne Johnson at the Florida State University College of Medicine, I have recently moved back to Columbus, Ohio. Here, I am an Assistant Professor at Ohio State University and Nationwide Children's Hospital where I work with the oncology, NICU, palliative care, and diabetes teams. After being there for internship and a post-doc it has been nice to return to familiar territory. AND, I did not return alone! ....  I got married in June up in Maine to a pediatric neuropsychologist, who I met in Columbus during training. It took a long time, but we now both have faculty positions in the same department. The wedding was a blast and we had a good turnout of classmates of mine (Vonnetta and Shawn Dotson, Eleni Dimoulas, Laura Frakey, and Otto Pedraza) at the wedding, along with Avani Modi who was a bridesmaid. Suzanne Johnson also attended.

Here is a brief note to let you know what I've been up to since leaving sunny Gainesville. After completing my internship at Long Island Jewish Hospital, I took on a two year post-doc at North Shore University Hospital in child/pediatric neuropsychology. Shortly thereafter, I started my current job as staff neuropsychologist at The Cody Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities at Stony Brook Medical Center. I do mainly autism spectrum and neuropsychological assessments and am involved in some research. I also have a small private neuropsychology practice and am pursuing my ABPP diplomate in neuropsychology. In non-psychology related news, my wife, also a psychologist who does research on psychological service use on Long Island, and I live on Long Island with our nearly 2 year old son - as the proud papa, I, of course, have to attach a photo to share with you.
